Chapter 281: Alliance



"Oh?" Emperor Han Ling and the rest of the officials showed surprised expressions on their faces, in their opinion, except for Zhao Yi, no one in the court was the opponent of Beigong Boyu. Emperor Han Ling was very interested and asked, "Aiqing, please speak." ”

He Jin and Zhang Rang couldn't help but prick up their ears, could it be that in addition to Zhao Yi, there were also virtuous people in the imperial court that they hadn't discovered, if that was the case, they would have to hold this person tightly in their hands.

He Jin glanced at Yuan Shao, a dissatisfied look flashed in his eyes, He Jin has always trusted Yuan Shao and relied on him as a confidant, but he didn't expect Yuan Shao to recommend talents in the court. According to He Jin's thoughts, if Yuan Shao really has such a good talent in his hands, he should recommend this person to himself in private and let himself be won over alone, instead of making it public as he did today and attracting Zhang Rang's attention.

Looking at Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, who looked strange, He Jin sighed slightly in his heart, looking at the faces of these two people, He Jin knew that they were the same as himself, and they were paying the same attention.

They all want to compete for the unspoken talents in Yuan Shao's mouth. Zhao Yun was also a little strange in his heart, now that the situation in the imperial court was critical, if there was really such an excellent talent as Zhao Yi, he would have already been as famous as Zhao Yi. Now today's talents are Cao Cao and Sun Jian, although these two can also be called talents, they did not take advantage of Beigong Boyu.

The day before yesterday, Zhu Jun had taken these two people to conquer Beigong Boyu in Xiliang, and the two sides only had a draw. Could it be that the imperial court really hides a man who is no less resourceful than Zhao Yi?

In the eyes of everyone, Yuan Shao slowly said the candidate in his heart: "The minister recommends Youzhou Mu Zhao Yi." ”

Hearing Zhao Yi's name, the officials in the court were a little strange, because just now He Jin and Zhang Rang recommended Zhao Yi, the pastor of Youzhou. Now that I heard Yuan Shao recommend Zhao Yi again, some of the officials were impatient, and they directly reprimanded Yuan Shao, saying that the general and Zhang Changshi had already recommended Zhao Yi just now, why do you want to say it again.

And it has been analyzed very clearly just now, if the Youzhou officials and soldiers are transferred out of Youzhou, I am afraid that the Wuhuan tribe will be repeated. It doesn't matter if the official army of Youzhou goes and returns and delays some time, what I am afraid of is that the people of Youzhou will be threatened, Qiu Liju and Jiwei have invaded Youzhou for nearly 20 days, and it has caused nearly 200,000 people to be displaced.

Yuan Shao didn't care about the reprimands of these ministers in front of him, but said his reasons again: "Weichen didn't want the Youzhou officials and troops to go out of Youzhou, but only transferred Lord Zhao of Youzhou out of Youzhou, and let Lord Zhao lead other troops and horses to conquer Beigong Boyu." ”

Hearing Yuan Shao's words, the face of the minister of the court showed a thoughtful look, and Yuan Shao explained in detail again: "Now the soldiers of the Qiuliju tribe and the Goguryeo tribe have lost eighty percent, plus the two forces of Kebineng and Suli are also seriously damaged, and now only the Nanlou tribe in the north and the Fuyu tribe in the east pose a threat to Youzhou. ”

In the past battle of Guangning County, according to Weichen, Nanlou had sent 30,000 cavalry to help, and this time it destroyed the alliance between Qiu Liju and Goguryeo, and reinforced Zhao Yi with 20,000 cavalry. It can be seen that the Wuhuan tribe to which Nanlou belongs has reached a strategic alliance with the Youzhou official army, and this great enemy can be ignored, so the only enemy in Youzhou is the Fuyu tribe in the east. With the nearly 200,000 officers and troops belonging to Youzhou, even if there is no Zhao Yi, there should be no problem in guarding against a Fuyu tribe. ”

Yuan Shao can be said to have analyzed the situation in Youzhou in the slightest, what Yuan Shao said is really good, Zhao Yi has been in office for a year, and he has already beaten all the tribes in Youzhou, and he has almost no power to fight back. There is only one big enemy left, the Fuyu tribe, and it is very easy for the officials and soldiers of Youzhou to guard against it.

As soon as Yuan Shao's words came out, they immediately aroused a strong response from the court officials, and they all said that what Yuan Shao said made sense, now the situation in Youzhou has stabilized, and there will be no major turmoil in three or five years, Zhao Yun thought that Zhao Yi could finally stay in peace for two years, but he didn't expect Yuan Shao to come up with such a vicious method, but Yuan Shao was also right, he didn't need the brave and warlike Youzhou officials now, but wanted to use Zhao Yi's resourcefulness.

Zhao Yun wanted to come out and say something for Zhao Yi, so that Zhao Yi didn't have to go out of Youzhou, but because of what Yuan Shao said, he had no ability to refute it at all, so he could only sigh secretly in his heart.

Yuan Shao's suggestion was agreed by most of the court officials, and Emperor Ling of Han also glanced at Yuan Shao, and finally agreed with Yuan Shao's words. Order his soldiers to go to Youzhou to deliver the decree. As for Zhao Yizuo's request to borrow grain from Jizhou, the imperial court also approved it.

Zhao Yi still doesn't know the decision made by Luoyang, he just rushed back to the Youzhou Prefecture with Dian Wei, and the affairs of the state capital that have been backlogged for a few days have already been dealt with by Cheng Yin and Yu Wenke, leaving only some things that Cheng Yin and Yu Wenke are not sure about.

Zhao Yi, who had just returned from Daijun, didn't have time to catch his breath before he was pulled by Cheng Yin to the government to deal with things. After careful consideration, after finally dealing with the affairs of Youzhou, a soldier rushed in: "My lord, the Goguryeo tribe has agreed to our request, and is willing to give half of the tribe's property, and will pay tribute to Youzhou in the next fifteen years." I only ask the officials and soldiers of Youzhou to help quickly. ”

"Okay." Zhao Yi's eyes lit up and he praised, he had long expected that the leader of Goguryeo was not a person who was subservient to others, and he would definitely agree to the conditions he proposed, "What is the situation in the eastern part of Youzhou now?" ”

"After getting the property of the Goguryeo tribe, the soldiers and horses of Liaodong County and the surrounding counties have entered the Goguryeo tribe, and the soldiers and horses of the counties that got the news from the Liaodong vassal state, Liaoxi County, Yuyang County, etc., have also rushed to the Goguryeo tribe under the leadership of the commander." The soldiers told the current situation in Youzhou, and the officials and troops such as Liaodong County, who first entered the Goguryeo tribe, had formed a confrontation with the soldiers of the Fuyu tribe.

Zhao Yi nodded secretly in his heart, with the entry of these tens of thousands of Youzhou officers and soldiers, he could drag the soldiers of Fuyu's department. "Order the official army of Youzhou to set off immediately, General Tai Shici will lead 20,000 cavalry to go ahead with me, and the rest of the troops will be commanded by General Gao Shun!"

The herald soldier bowed down to give the order, and when he saw the herald soldier leaving, Cheng Yin stepped forward and asked: "My lord, the Fuyu tribe has 40,000 male soldiers, and they are brave and good at fighting, although we have obtained half of the property of Goguryeo, but most of the soldiers and horses in the state capital are newly recruited soldiers, and the new recruits are used to fight against the trained Sufuyu tribe, even if they win, I am afraid that our soldiers will also suffer heavy casualties." ”

Zhao Yi was not too worried about this: "Don't worry, my lord, since this official has agreed to send troops, he already has the certainty of victory in his heart." Moreover, it is of great benefit to let these soldiers who have not experienced war see this kind of scene in their future growth. ”

Seeing Zhao Yi's confident appearance, Cheng Yin didn't say anything more, Cheng Yin knew that he was not as good as Zhao Yi when it came to marching and fighting.

Zhao Yi briefly explained Cheng Yin and Yu Wenke, and left Youzhou with Tai Shici's official cavalry. The first few times it was the battle with the Montenegrin Army, the Battle of Quang Ninh besieging Qiangqu, or the alliance between Qiu Liju and Goguryeo that had just been quelled the day before yesterday.

The officers and soldiers have never fought alone, they are all assisted by the cavalry of the Wuhuan tribe, and with the elite cavalry of the Wuhuan tribe, the officers and soldiers can reduce the casualties of the soldiers, and they also have confidence in their hearts. But this time, it was the Youzhou officials and soldiers who acted alone.

The Wuhuan soldiers have the help of the Wuhuan soldiers in the battle against the powerful enemy, which has made the Youzhou officials and soldiers dependent, and now they are fighting alone, and the soldiers' hearts are more or less panicked. Even Tai Shici's heart was a little apprehensive, not knowing if he could win the battle without the help of the Wuhuan tribe this time.

Tai Shi Ci told Zhao Yi what he thought in his heart, Tai Shi Ci felt that it was not so easy to win the battle with this mentality, in order to avoid the casualties of the soldiers, Tai Shi Ci did not hide what he thought in his heart, and added a sentence at the end: "Not only will the last general have this thought, but looking around the barracks, I am afraid that there are not a few people who have this thought." ”

Zhao Yi looked back at the soldiers behind him, but he didn't care about it, because it was normal for Tai Shi Ci and other soldiers to have this kind of thought, but Tai Shi Ci could find this problem and say it. It can be seen that this Tai Shici is still a rare good general.

"Don't worry, general, I already know about this." Zhao Yi didn't care about this, the official cavalry followed the Wuhuan cavalry to simulate the attack and kill for a long time, and the combat power has increased by more than one grade compared to the original, it can be said that the combat power of the soldiers in Youzhou is not much different from the Wuhuan cavalry, and what the official cavalry lacks is confidence.

At this time, the situation in Liaodong became a little strange because of the intervention of the Youzhou official army.

Mu Bai, the leader of Goguryeo, saw that the Liaodong county guard led the rest of the county town with 30,000 officials and troops into the tribe, and expressed a great welcome, and secretly said in his heart that it was fortunate that Zhao Yi, the pastor of Youzhou, kept his promise. Agreeing to the conditions of the official army, Mu Bai has no choice, because the Goguryeo tribe has now reached a dilemma, if he does not agree to the conditions of the official army, then ninety percent of the tribe will be annexed by the Fuyu tribe.

For the Goguryeo chieftain, he gave half of his wealth to the Youzhou government and paid tribute to the Youzhou government for fifteen years, although the life of the tribe was miserable, but the tribe's right to speak was still in his own hands, and he still had supreme power in the tribe. If his tribe is annexed by the Fuyu tribe, even if the leader of Fuyu wants to stabilize the hearts of the people of his tribe and promote himself to a figure second only to the leader, Mu Bai is still very dissatisfied with this, he is used to being the one who gives orders, and he is not used to letting him suddenly become the second leader.

The Mubai tribe personally greeted the Liaodong County Guard, and pointed to the Fuyu camp in front: "My lord, you see that is the Fuyu camp." ”
